Generic Samurai

This character sheet represents those samurai with either extensive training (often at a good school of martial arts, in which case the "Style" disadvantage is a good idea), or considerable experience. These men are generally better quality retainers or the most trusted guards. For the bulk of lower class samurai, use 25 point Bushi. This character sheet is also suitable for war-weary ronin whose dangerous lifestyle has honed their skills beyond that of their peers in service.
